'The Last of Us' PS5 remake promises smarter AI, extra gameplay modes

Sony has released a new 10-minute trailer for The Last of Us Part 1, a remake of the game for the PlayStation 5. The new trailer shows off things like improved graphics and gameplay changes. One of the new things coming includes improved AI for enemies and companions. It also gets extra gameplay modes, and cutscenes have audio descriptions for accessibility.

This will get a permadeath mode for those who want to try surviving a zombie apocalypse. There will also be a speed run mode, but it isn't clear how that'll work. The trailer just shows a timer in the upper right corner. But there's more in the trailer that you should check out. If you're interested in getting the game, it's worth a watch.
